Re: Now I'm really curious about this $1.5 billion revenue rumour...

It's nonsense. The person who fabricated the rumor is totally clueless. There is no way the average discounted wholesale price of the 1GHZ Athlon is $1,000. Most of those chips went to Gateway, Compaq, and HP, who probably get 30% to 40% discounts off the published price schedules once terms and advertising allowances are figured in.

Regards,

Dan

Niceguy, Welcome to the thread :)

I am with Dan, no can do on the $1.5 B revenue number. I think it is a good $250 million too high, that is a big number!
